    This is such a wild departure from real beauty pageants, which have always been known for pushing realistic beauty standards and for making normal women feel good about their bodies.

    This is like a black hole of stupid. Everyone involved (participants, observers, and whiners) should feel such deep and incredible shame that any of us had to read this headline.

    Well they were trained on the mainstream media’s pushing of unrealistic beauty standards…

    It’s happening on a social media platform none of you has ever heard of before and will never hear of again. Calm down and move on.

      They’re all on instagram and tiktok. It’s very much happening on the most popular and most used social media platforms.

    Lol, they added a “Location” to the winners (winner characters)

    I guess it’s more about the characters than only AI-generated images.

    In a CNN article titled, “The first Miss AI has been crowned — and she’s a Moroccan lifestyle influencer,” fashion journalist Jacqui Palumbo writes, "Meet Kenza Layli, a Moroccan lifestyle influencer who hopes to bring ‘diversity and inclusivity’ to the AI creator landscape.

    That’s the real problem, isn’t it? Not the original character contest, with a clear setting. But others promoting the characters as if they were real people.

    Yeah! How are we expected to compete with AI beauty? Break our fingers and glue six extra ones onto our hands?
